Black Bear Hunts in Ontario, Canada

High Success Rates

The Ontario black bear hunts at Wenasaga Lodge have an extremely high success rate. The percentage of shootable black bears at our hunting stands is 90% since 2005. Our black bear hunting area contains over 500 square miles of land and the hunting areas are divided up for each group of hunters. We bait the bears for up to two months before the season begins and will always put you on a stand that is being actively hit. We will never put you on stands that have been used by previous hunters that year. On your first day hunting, we will help you get set up in the stand and teach your hunting group the black bear baiting process. After that, your bear hunting group takes the responsibility for transportation to the site and the recovery of the black bears after they’ve been hit.

All you need to bring for your bear hunting trip is groceries, personal hunting gear, fishing gear, life jackets, and a hunting license from your home state. This hunting license can be a previous or current one but needs to come from your home state and will be required in order for you to get your Ontario bear hunting license. Remember to bring that license. You also must be 16 years or older to hunt in Canada.
